I love this project and you're making an outstanding go of it. The JU 52 is on my to do list for sure. I hope mine comes out half as good as yours.

That's a tough one. I'd probably permanently secure the roof. That's gonna be a big plane yeah?

The bottom fuselage section fit fine in the front but a little wonky in the rear.I decided to align and set the rear section first and work my way to the front clamping along the way.Might be a few easily dealt with gaps in a few places. no big deal.

Tacked on the roof,the fit is fairly good but far from perfect.Not sure what to do to fix the gaps without making it impossible to remove the roof to view the interior.I am considering getting ribbed styrene and attaching it to the edges to make the gaps less prominent.What do you guys think?

Mounted the cockpit and main floor to the fuselage side and added chairs,benches handrail near the door and the gunners ladder.I am impressed how delicate the chairs are molded.  Very fine detail.

Great subject. That corrugated metal, I mean plastic, should be interesting. I look forward to your work.
